When it comes to seafood, no one does it fresher than Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar. And while it can be a good idea to question cheap seafood when you’re far from the coast, Jax rolled out a full week’s worth of nightly deals and specials earlier this spring. The lineup makes delicious, sustainable seafood extremely approachable and easy on the budget.
“These are a lot of different ways to enjoy the restaurant that don’t have a top-tier price point,” says Adam Reed, director of operations of Big Red F Restaurant Group. “We think sometimes people get scared of a seafood restaurant and think, That’s got to be expensive. But there are a lot of very accessible ways to come in and try Jax out.”
